Cargo delivery from Vietnam

Routes: 3 Ocean Services and Air Freight

The country's geography stretches along the coastline, so the choice of the port of loading directly affects transportation costs and transit time.

Containers depart from the ports of Haiphong, Ho Chi Minh City, Cai Mep, and Da Nang. We offer three main sea delivery routes.

Which Goods Are Profitable to Import from Vietnam

Vietnam remains one of the largest manufacturing hubs in Southeast Asia.

In recent years, many international companies have partially relocated production here from China, leading to the development of industrial infrastructure and export growth. Russian companies import from Vietnam:

• textiles and ready-made garments;
• footwear;
• furniture;
• wooden products;
• coffee;
• tea;
• nuts;
• spices;
• seafood;
• electronics;
• household appliances;
• manufacturing components;
• goods for marketplaces.

For many product categories, Vietnamese factories offer a more favorable cost price compared to Chinese manufacturers, especially when it comes to labor-intensive production with a high share of manual work.

Vietnam or China: Where to Buy More Profitably

Businesses often face a choice: place an order with familiar factories in Guangzhou or look for a supplier near Ho Chi Minh City.

In most cases, the choice between China and Vietnam depends not so much on freight costs as on product specifics. China remains the leader in the production of electronics, industrial equipment, and sophisticated machinery. Vietnam is more often chosen for purchasing apparel, footwear, furniture, food products, and mass-market goods. Many Russian importers use both countries simultaneously, diversifying suppliers and reducing dependence on a single market.

Here are three factors to consider.

Major Ports of Vietnam

The choice of port directly affects transportation costs and delivery times.

Main ports:

Haiphong, Ho Chi Minh City, Cai Mep, and Da Nang — most export cargo is shipped through them.

North of the country:

Manufacturers usually operate via Haiphong.

South of the country:

Enterprises use Ho Chi Minh City and Cai Mep.

What we consider in calculations:

Factory location, domestic delivery costs, and available shipping lines, to select the optimal route.

Shipments: From One Box to Dozens of Containers

We do not set minimum purchase volume restrictions and tailor the delivery scheme to each client's specific task.

Refrigerated and Dangerous Goods

Separately, we handle cargo that requires temperature control and dangerous goods.

Customs Clearance and EAV Certificate

One of the advantages of importing from Vietnam is the possibility of applying tariff preferences with a Form EAV certificate of origin.

Our customs declarants oversee the entire customs clearance process:

• check supplier documents in advance and verify that the certificate is issued correctly;
• select HS codes;
• calculate customs payments;
• submit declarations to the Electronic Declaration Center;
• check whether product certification is required;
• prepare the document package in advance for cargo release without delays.
